I felt a lot worse than last time… maybe it's because I took all of the am pills too. I waited 45 minutes for someone in pdoc's office to call back, and then I called poison control. They told me to go to the ER and I went by cab.

They took blood and urine and pretty much just monitored me. Because of my history I had to convince the ER doc it wasn't intentional. Since they were just watching me I asked if I could go home once my labs came back fine, and they said let me. I was there for about 4 1/2 hrs.

Both poison control and the ER doc made it a point to say that they'd never heard of anyone on such a high dose of seroquel and the ER doc commented on all the other meds I take. I'm acutely aware of just how much **** I have to take everyday. Comments like that just make me feel crazy. I wish I was only on 100mg of seroquel… if I screwed up a 100mg dose I wouldn't have felt as crummy as I did or have had to go to the hospital.

Anyway, I went to bed early last night and I feel okay this morning. Fortunately the ER doc believed my OD was accidental so I'm sitting at the computer with Buddy in my lap while smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, instead of waking up in a psych ward with a nicotine patch and a cup of cafeteria decaf (cat-less).
